The City Brew Tours Beer Club is another great option for beer lovers. They take you on a virtual road trip by highlighting cities’ brew options and offering virtual tastings of the selections.

Unlike other subscriptions you can customize the membership by choosing a number of bottles each month or selecting a particular brew.

Some of these beer subscriptions include additional gifts, such as a year’s subscription to a craft magazine, a heavy duty bottle opener, or custom koozies. They also offer a flexible, no-commitment membership with monthly, bi-monthly, quarterly, or annual shipments. Most make it easy to cancel or pause your delivery, and most ship free within the US.
